Chapter 48: The stunned Li Shimin

Li Shimin couldn't help but be happy when he heard Wang Dazhu's words, and asked with a smile: "You said that you came to give me a treasure, so what kind of treasure do you want to give me?" ”

Wang Dazhui took two steps forward and said, "Your Majesty, this treasure has to ask you to go outside and I will show it to you again, it is inconvenient here." ”

"Oh! Could it be that my imperial study is too small to hold your gifts? Li Shimin asked curiously.

Guo Ren was also very curious on the side, and said that he didn't see any big things brought by Wang Dazhui when he entered the palace.

"Your Majesty, this thing is a bit dangerous and not suitable for the study, let's go to the courtyard outside, and the grass people will show it to you, I guarantee that you will like it when you see it." Wang Dazhui confidently assured Li Shimin.

"Okay, then I'll go out with you and see what you've brought."

"But Your Majesty, let me tell you in advance, you must be mentally prepared later, don't be scared, otherwise, the sin of the grass people will be great."

"Haha...... I am becoming more and more curious when you say that, I have never been afraid in my life!"

Li Shimin and Wang Dazhui said as they came to the courtyard.

When he arrived at the courtyard, Wang Dazhui carefully took out the artillery he had made from his backpack, found some soil to insert the artillery on it, and then instructed Li Shimin and Guo Ren to cover their ears and light the artillery battle.

The fuse ignited, sparks rattled, and then there was a bang, and the cannon exploded, the sound was loud, and the confetti was scattered and the dust was flying.

Seeing this scene, Li Shimin and Guo Ren were really taken aback, but fortunately they listened to Wang Dazhui's instructions, stood far away, and covered their ears.

"Wang Dazhu, what is this thing you just made? It was so loud after it was blown up. ”

"Back to Your Majesty, this is the treasure I told you, I call it a cannonball, similar to the firecrackers used for festivals, but its role is more than that." Wang Dazhui then told Li Shimin about gunpowder in 1510.

From the time he was almost killed by gunpowder when he went to Zhongnanshan, to the fact that he had a different opinion with Yuan Tiangang later, he said it carefully.

After the initial shock, Li Shimin was the one who sat on the throne after a bloody storm, and immediately realized the role of gunpowder's great lethality in military affairs.

Guo Ren was also dumbfounded when he heard it, and said in his heart that Wang Dazhui is really a noble person in the Tang Dynasty, and he can always make many strange things.

After Li Shimin understood the true value of gunpowder, he didn't know what he should do for a while, although he was the emperor, but whether gunpowder was used or not, he had to discuss it with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.

This is not to say that Li Shimin is indecisive and not decisive enough, but the influence of gunpowder is too great.

"You must be optimistic about this and artillery and gunpowder, and you must not be used by those who have a heart. As for how to use gunpowder in the future, I still have to discuss it with the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, so that since you discovered this thing, then you will also participate in the early dynasty tomorrow, and then the ministers will talk about the value and role of gunpowder and artillery. Li Shimin thought for a moment and made a decision.

Li Shimin's decision is not difficult to understand, so Wang Dazhui didn't say anything, he believes that Li Shimin will definitely make the right choice, as long as he truly understands the value of gunpowder.

Thinking that Li Shimin actually asked him to participate in the early dynasty tomorrow, Wang Dazhui's heart was really a little excited, presumably he would be able to see those famous ministers and good generals in history in the early dynasty at that time.

Especially the twenty-four ministers of Lingyan Pavilion, it can be said that all of them are celebrities in history, and now they can finally see them alive, and the excitement in Wang Dazhui's heart is incomprehensible to others.

"Everything is decided by the emperor, and since the grass people have handed over the formula of gunpowder and the method of making artillery, they will naturally not regret it." Wang Dazhui said very sincerely that he understood that this was a good time for him to show his loyalty, but if he hesitated a little, it was estimated that Li Shimin would be regarded as suspicious.

Accompanying the king is like accompanying the tiger, this is not a joke, never have the idea of being proud in front of the emperor, because such people will generally die miserably.

As an emperor, it can be said that basically for the sake of the throne, they are always suspicious of everyone, which is their common problem, and even the so-called holy monarchs of the past dynasties cannot escape this reason.

Seeing that Wang Da Hammer was so knowledgeable, Li Shimin was very happy, and asked with a smile: "Wang Da Hammer, you gave me such a valuable thing, it can be said that you have made an immortal contribution to my Tang Dynasty, tell me what do you want me to reward you?" ”

Guo Ren also gave Wang Da Hammer a look on the side, meaning that while the emperor was happy, he didn't hurry up to ask for some benefits. The reason why he did this was because he liked Wang Dazhui very much.

When the opportunity came, Wang Dazhui was not the one who watched it slip away, he smiled and said to Li Shimin: "Your Majesty, your golden mouth and jade words are out, and the horses are difficult to chase, if the grass people don't ask for some rewards, it is really unreasonable, but the money and wealth are exempt, it is better for you to reward an official to the grass people." ”

"Just you? A six-year-old kid still wants to be an official? Li Shimin smiled angrily.

Wang Dazhui deliberately pretended to be unhappy and said: "Your Majesty, although I am small, you can't break your word and get fat!" Haven't you heard of Mo bullying young? ”

"Besides, Gan Luo is the prime minister, Zhou Lang can lead the army at the age of nine, how can I not be an official at the age of six?" Wang Dazhui argued for himself.

"Haha...... you really surprised me today. Did you say you had already calculated it? Li Shimin was not angry when he heard Wang Dazhui's, but was happy.

Guo Ren also helped Wang Dazhui to say good things on the side, and said to Li Shimin with a smile: "Your Majesty, the old slave has a good idea, I don't know if Your Majesty is willing to listen to it?" ”

"Say, this is not a court, so you don't have to go around the bush with me." Li Shimin still trusts Guo Ren, after all, Guo Ren is basically by his side twelve hours a day.

"Since, Your Majesty thinks that Wang Dazhui is not suitable for being an official at his young age, the old slave thinks that it is better to reward him with a knighthood, so that it can be regarded as a reward for his contribution to the court, and if he has any treasures in the future, he will definitely dedicate it to the emperor as soon as possible." Guo Ren said with a smile.

"Okay, you Guo Ren, did you say that you received any benefits from Wang Dazhu, a stinky boy? Why did you do everything you can to help him say good things today? Li Shimin scolded with a smile.

Guo Ren heard that Li Shimin was joking with himself, and he didn't blame himself, so he smiled at Li Shimin and said: "Your Majesty, you have wronged the old slave, if you don't believe it, you can ask Wang Dazhu, has the old slave ever received any benefits from him?" ”

"Your Majesty, Gonggong Guo is right, the grass people have definitely not given him anything." Wang Dazhui also spoke for Guo Ren, and he was grateful for his help to him.

"Okay, you two really use this place as a stage when you sing and harmonize? Since you want to be an official, why don't you let the ministers decide together tomorrow morning? Li Shimin gave his own answer.
